Developing literacy for a multilingual world

Welcome to The EAL Academy - school improvement specialists and leaders in the fields of literacy, ethnic minority achievement, and English as an additional language

Who are we?
We are a team of consultants, trainers and serving teachers with a breadth of experience gained both in the UK and internationally in the fields of literacy, ethnic minority achievement, and English as an additional language.

What do we do?
We work with teachers, schools, academy trusts and local authorities to help pupils and students achieve and enable schools to flourish.

How we work
Our training, consultancy and resources are constantly reshaped to meet the particular needs of a school, group of schools or local authority. We fit the delivery method to the institution: our courses can be run as twilights, in whole day sessions, at weekends or in any combination of the three. All include an online element to encourage further reading and the sharing of resources and experiences outside the taught sessions.

Our interaction with clients is consistently prompt, thorough and reliable, and our training is always interactive. We practice what we preach!

“I have found all the units informative and they have made me consider my own practice and how strategies are working within the school. Each unit has given me things to think more deeply about and consider how I can implement some of them to improve current practice.”

Jane Singh

Brewster Avenue Infants, Peterborough

“I found this module extremely useful when looking at and analysing my current practice and that of the schools I work in when it comes to identifying EAL pupils with SEN. It has made me challenge my thinking and will impact on the way we can assess pupils, adopting a more thorough approach, using evidence/information already available and using it to build pupil profiles. I look forward to my next module!

“I have really enjoyed this course and have found it really interesting, I have enjoyed completing each unit and the structure has worked really well for me, helping me to manage my time around work. The communication from the tutors has also been great.
